Readers Choice - Whats Your Job Search Site - CareerAlley
Readers Choice - Whats Your Job Search Site - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. The search for content pressure is off for this post. Thanks to several readers who have suggested a number of job hunting sites over the past few weeks. In todays post I will review readers picks, which includes Resume Services, Job Search Sites, Career Blogs and a search firm. The intro is light this week given the content. Read on. ResumeWonders.com Building Resumes Building Dreams is the tag line for this site which specializes in a full range of services in support of your job search. Packages range from full service (strategy, resume, cover letter, email support, etc.) to targeted support (any one of the items listed in their full package). The top center of the site lists several packages followed by detailed background on their Resume Writing Services (left center) and Career Coaching Services (right center). Click on Resource Directory (left hand side of the page) for an extensive list of additional resources. If you need to jump start (or re-start) your job search process, this may be the place to start. Careerjet.com This site is an employment search engine (that is their tagline as well). According to the website, there are more than 16,000,000 jobs globally on the site (with more than 2,000,000 in the US). The top of the site has a simple search function (What and Where) with a link to Advanced Search to the right of the simple search. Center page has several quick search tabs for Jobs by Industry, Location, Worldwide and customized searches. CareerEssentials.wordpress.com This site is a careers blog (which Ive just added to my Blogroll on the right hand side of my page) which is affiliated with ResumeWonders.com. This blog provides useful tips with themes for each post day (like Tuesdays Tips). Definitely worth a read on a regular basis (as well as prior posts). The right hand side of the site has additional links with review as well (Worth the Read includes a number of useful links). ChowJobs Another useful careers blog, this site provides job leads and career advice. The sites posts generally include a lead to specific job from a company (such as jobs at HSBC). The site is worth a read, but you should visit it every post day in order to catch the job leads before they go stale (or are taken by other readers!). There are additional links at the top of the page for Job Hunting Services and contact us. Momentumtrans.com Momentum is a search firm that specializes in recruiting hard to find employees (not really sure what that means). The main page gives an overview of the company, followed by site news. There are links at the top for Openings, Apply and Contact. Click Openings to link to their job opportunities page. Once on this page, there will be categories of jobs but no links, you must call them if you are interested. The Apply page has an online application while the Contact page has a link for email information. Good luck in your search.
